Factbook and datatypes

MJ. Smith

For years, users have requested "complete" lists of data types and milestones - both for searches and for building personal books. Please add data types and milestones to resources where appropriate and add major datatypes to Factbook.

I think this is great, and I voted for it. I read it as three different suggestions, and wanted to check if I understood your request correctly.

Add documentation for missing data types and milestones... to in-app help and the wiki? (I confess I turn to the wiki first as a reference, and rarely look at Logos help.)

Add tagging to more resources so they also show up in Factbook?

Add remainder of datatypes planned for Factbook... new sections, information, or searches? (I think you and FL could recite what still needs to be done for Factbook v2, but I can't recall the specifics.)

Thanks for promoting this, as v2 gets even more improvements. I have a feeling that v2 will turn out to be the most relied-on change to Logos as more users incorporate it into their studies.

This was intended as background - showing that the needs has been recognized for some time. There are good reasons this never happened ... reasons that the new Factbook allows us to overcome.

All resources have a page in Factbook ... so I'm asking for information that is in the resource metadata/data be displayed on an existing record. I expect it to be a programmatic effort not a tagging issue.

Yes, this would be a new page type in Factbook but compatible with some of the inclusion of glossary data ... so there is already a conceptual place for it.

Thanks for the explanation, MJ!
